Structure for each species
• Diagnostic characters (one or more)
• Macroscopical characters: cap, gills, stem, flesh,
taste, smell.
• Microscopical characters: spores, cystidia,
pileipellis.
• Biological and ecological characters.
• Frequency, distributional overview in the area
• References to printed, coloured illustrations
• Current name and important synonyms
Tasks for involved
• Amateur mycologists collect, describe, dry,
photograph/report specimens
• Authors prepare one or more genera, using
available data in literature, herbaria, etc., and
supplemented by the national coordinators
• National coordinators prepare a list of taxa from
their country
• Editors make protocol, coordinate, edit and
decide the higher level classification
